[Juju]

Oh, just salute my brother. Oli Chips. Yeah, Oli. Family Ties. Oli. Saved by the damn bell.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes. Been waiting for that.

[Cynthia]

Yes, I see Cynthia's been texting you too.

[Juju]

I promise to God somebody's saying, get Amin out of here right now. Me and him got smoke right now. A penalty box. I'm just playing. I love you, brother. And last. Oli Taxi. Oh, yeah.

[Cynthia]

Oh, man. Tax is a banger.

[Juju]

A tear will come from your eye if you listen to Taxi at the right time of the day. Number 10, succession. Yes, yes, yes, sir, man, we already know what's going on. Number nine, because it's just a banger. And I don't seen dance moves. Get put to it now. Law and Order. Number eight. Come on, man. Track our quest. The Wayans brothers.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Cynthia]

They added war drums. Now this season, right?

[Juju]

Yeah, yeah. More dramatic. Number four in a 90s kind of world. I'm glad I got my girls single, man.

[Cynthia]

What?

[Dan Le Batard]

That's right.

[Juju]

You gotta fight with number three. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Classic, you know, timeless. I'm sick of it. But hey, respect. West do number two. And this is where I start keeping it real. Raising Canaan.

[Cynthia]

This is a big, rich town.

[Juju]

Hey, nah, that's not that.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's from power.

[Jonathan Zaslo]

That's the OG hey, you know about power.

[Dan Le Batard]

I love power.

[Juju]

No way.

[Dan Le Batard]

Come on now. You know about Ghost.

[Jonathan Zaslo]

I am shocked right now.

[Dan Le Batard]

I love power.

[Jonathan Zaslo]

I am shocked right now that Zaz loves power.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know why you're shocked.

[Juju]

I would like to ask Amin el Hassan to please go to the penalty box, please, for the sake of God. I know Dan ain't here, but we got to have some kind of rules here. Please, my brother, can you go to the penalty box for us?

[Cynthia]

Fine.

[Juju]

Thank you, brother. Number one, Power. Jesus. It's a very rich town. I mean, go. He's here to spoil me.

[Dan Le Batard]

I just come from the pole real quick.

[Cynthia]

Where I go, I just want to say lights.

[Juju]

I'mma make it somehow we made the whole show.

[Cynthia]

And I thought for sure Juju would have this. But Juju did not. Thank you for being a friend.

[Juju]

Back again to America's two Americas.

[Dan Le Batard]

I will tell you. Big omission. Big omission. And this is all of our faults, Martin. Come on.

[Jonathan Zaslo]

I am another bigger mission. Peaky Blinders, the Red Right Hand. That theme song was a banger, too.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's true, that's true.

[Juju]

The second version of Martin was a little better. Martin, I'm the man. Oh, that's the third one. Two Americas.

[Mike Ryan]

That's the third version.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, Very good. Excellent job there.

[Juju]

Jesus, though, man.

[Dan Le Batard]

Juju, you have any flowers we can give out today?

[Juju]

Absolutely, brother. I absolutely have happen to have a bouquet right here, man. These bouquet of flowers is for my brother, Jonathan Zaslo. He told y' all yesterday, Caitlyn Clark over 25 points. So I took he. I took that home and I took it to DraftKings. And my brother, you deserve these flowers as well as a little something something from me on the back end. Thanks.

[Dan Le Batard]

She had 32 last night. She's. She's on fire lately. Three of her last four games, she's had big scoring games.

Greg. Greg also hit his yesterday. Marlins plus one and a half runs.

[Juju]

Yes, I did, Sandy. Oh, all right.

[Dan Le Batard]

There you go.

[Juju]

More flowers. More flowers and more life to my

[Dan Le Batard]

Brother G. Thank you. Thank you. Juju. Let's get to some polls for today. What do we got?

[Juju]

Juju, is the Gilligan's island theme song a top 10 theme song of all time? 63% of the audience says, yes, it is. Wow. Better theme song, People's Court or Gilligan's Island? 51% of the audience says gilligan's Island. Name a third. Gabor, I dare you. 76 of the audience says no. Also, I wanted to give this joker of the week out to Dan in his face because I didn't want to talk behind his back. But he's never here anymore for these, so I'm going to give him the joke of the week for that tops LeBron situation. Brother, we don't like that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wow. Damn.

[Jonathan Zaslo]

No, he's back.

[Dan Le Batard]

Juju just called you out.

[Juju]

Exactly. Thank you. Thank you. LeBron being in cahoots with Tops.

[Cynthia]

You.

[Juju]

You, sir, are the joker of the week. Damn near definitely of the day.

[Dan Le Batard]

Big call out.

[Greg Cody]

Didn't say that.

[Juju]

I'll wait till you scarf it down. Are bristles made to last? 80% of the audience says, no, they are not.

[Greg Cody]

I'm the joker of the week. When mother Greg Cody has a toothbrush for 35 years, you hygiene king, I'm the joker of the week.

[Juju]

Yep, that's. That's what the joker of the week is for, man. I give it to who deserves it.

[Greg Cody]

35 years, a toothbrush doesn't deserve it.

[Juju]

Nothing wrong with that.

[Greg Cody]

That doesn't deserve it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'll make it right.

[Greg Cody]

I don't know what the rules are anymore. Trump can just buy the World cup and Juju isn't offended by a toothbrush for 35 years.

[Juju]

Nope. You are a responsible journalist. People take heed to what you say, brother. Now they out there googling tops and seeing who in this the CEO role, they. Nah, brother, it was all above board. If he would have came to Miami, same Top steal didn't say any of that. Well, you still the joker of the week. I said that one. How about that? Is there anything worse than a chatty dentist? 70% of the audience says no, there is not. Is it weird to be friends with your dentist? 77% of the audience says, yes, it is.

[Greg Cody]

Tony, what are you.

[Jonathan Zaslo]

Nothing wrong with that.

[Greg Cody]

What are you waving your.

[Jonathan Zaslo]

Nothing wrong with that. Dr. B is an incredible dentist. I love Dr. B. We talk sports all the time. He actually waits to finish doing stuff to then have me answer the question. He invited me over barbecue at his house.

[Greg Cody]

Well, I think that's where friends it's fine to be friendly with your dentist. I think the part that Zaz and everyone else is objecting to is you palling around with your dentist. Like putting your arms around him and going clubbing with him.

[Jonathan Zaslo]

I give him a big hug when I see him.

[Juju]

And last and most important poll are toothbrushes made to last a lifetime. 97% of the audience says no and those are your poles.

[Greg Cody]

Juju, do you believe that you have a single friend or person or loved one in the universe? Relative? Anyone who's had a toothbrush for 35 years?

[Juju]

I consider my brother Greg Cody a friend or relative and all of the above. So yes, I do.

[Greg Cody]

The answer is no to my question. Juju, thank you for being on with us. We appreciate it, sir.
